Although it was off the MLS, A-Rod’s house was apparently still being shopped around privately to interested parties — a tactic that worked.

A-Rod’s custom manse is completely modern. An enormous front door leads to open living spaces, with nearly all-glass walls looking out over the bay. Property records show that Rodriguez bought the home in his own name, but that doesn’t mean the house was short on security. The previous listing states the home has a gated, walled property line and 16 security cameras. Forget snagging an autograph.

Other amenities include an infinity pool, outdoor kitchen, enormous gym with batting cage and steam room, zen gardens and 275 feet of waterfront dominated by two large docks.
